Research Center

Research at Azim Premji University is largely focused on issues that are directly relevant to the work we are engaged in, and at a broader level, on issues that have social relevance and impact. Substantial emphasis is placed on research that contributes to knowledge in practice besides recognizing research as contributing to scholarly knowledge. Collaborative researches among faculty members, between faculty and the members in Field Institutes of Azim Premji Foundation and between organizations is an essential feature of our work.

The Research Centre at the University, is responsible for facilitating the research work of University faculty and all members of the Foundation. As part of this, the centre works on setting up internal processes related to proposal building, approval, ethics frameworks, archiving AND dissemination. The centre also provides support on data analysis, conducts capacity enhancement workshops and hosts research events and conferences

The intellectual storehouse that are the students and the faculty. Something we could tap into any time and come out satisfied and stimulated.
